Does not the larva find its way similarly into the unripe gauva fruit? Hence its name?
ReplyDeleteYes in India its larva also feeds on the fruits of the Common Guava (Psidium guajava) hence its common name as you correctly guessed, but in Sri Lanka there are no records so far. But there are records from Sri Lanka that it feeds on fruits of the False Guava (Catunaregam spinosa)
